B. Insert the bare ends of the cable into the hole for the cable entry and tighten the screw down
terminals firmly. Attach the clear polycarbonate snap on cover for touch safety. See Fig. 5.

nOTe: The diameter of the hole in the screw down terminal for the cable entry is 0.6” and is
just big enough for the diameter of the bare AWG #4/0 stranded cable. It is likely that the ends
of the strands towards the cut face of the cable get bent / frayed / spread outwards during
cutting and thereby, the diameter of the cable near the cut face may increase slightly. Also, the
strands towards the cut face should be pressed together closely to reduce the diameter near
the cut face to less than 0.6”. To help keep the strands towards pressed together for easier
entry into the terminal, tightly warp insulation tape around 0.2” to 0.3” from the cut face. If
required, straighten and compress the bent / frayed / spread out ends to reduce the diameter to
the minimum. Now insert the leading 0.2” to 0.3” bare portion into the hole. Once this leading
portion has entered the hole, remove the insulating tape and insert the bare end of the cable
fully.
Caution!
Please ensure that all the strands get inserted into the hole and that no
strand(s) is left forced out of the hole.

INsTallaTION
A. The fuse should be installed within 7 inches of the Positive Terminal of the battery. Cut the
Positive cable based on the desired location of the Class “T” Fuse Block using wire cutter. Strip
1.05” of the insulation at the cut ends using a stripper. Please ensure that the innermost layer of
the tape separator is completely removed. See Fig. 4.
